Leaving with Peace

Leaving with peace

The house now empty and dark
Flashes of bright with an occasional spark
A knock on the door asking them to embark
A sound only certain occupants are allowed to hear
Walking away with not a spot of fear
As knowing it was time to walk the path
Hand in hand down the straight and narrow
No desire of any wrath
No signs on their face of sorrow
The physical part of them is going through a living hell
Luckily, they can't hear themselves having a painful yell
A strong light starts to shine in their face
Their guide is picking up the pace
Veering off the path to collect the next who are
Leaving the new to finish their walk into the star
